I was the same as you ...I like Dr yau and he was straight to the point and he really listened to my concerns and answered them very well to ease my nerves. I didnt have much to ask him because my consultant did well with answering every one of my concerns leading up to the big day. I kinda felt awkward not having more to ask him after he left.

HI: Why don't you start one say "Slimband aka TLBC cont'd" :tt2: I am not a great computer "geek" and find myself happy I can navigate these sites.

Let us know how you are doing in your quest to get under or at your goal.

Nice to see some different topics here. Can't we start a new thread though, so we can have less pages to wade through?

I don't mind starting a new thread is everyone in agreement to let this one go and start a new thread?

Yep, start a new thread.

I've heard people refer to other forums. Can anyone suggest other sites to converse with Canadians about the lap-band?

Most clinics have their own patient forum so you could get the one from your clinic if they have one.

There are a few Yahoo groups just for Canadians as well. The first one is the general one, 2nd one is for people under 35 and the next ones are regional.
